More about The Taj Story

The film, The Taj Story focuses on the questions and mysteries tied to the famous monument, including the 22 sealed rooms. The film follows 'Vishnu Das' (played by Paresh Rawal), a local tour guide at the Taj Mahal, who goes on a mission to challenge the origin of the monument. What begins as just a curiosity soon turns into an intense courtroom showdown, as he wants a DNA test to be done to prove whether the monument is a tomb or a temple.

Initially when the poster of the film, featuring a Shiv motif emerging from Taj Mahal's dome was released, it received a lot of backlash from viewers. Netizens and critics felt that the makers were trying to reignite issues between Hindu-Muslims. However, the makers had released an official statement, in which they had clarified that the film is based on historical facts and was not made to create any tensions.
